21、or centuries, people wondered how big the Earth was. Unfortunately, although the Earth was flat, no one was able to figure out its size. Gradually, however, people began to realize that the Earth was really round. Then, in the third century BC ( 2,300 years ago), a Greek man named Eratosthenes had a
22、n idea. Eratosthenes was sure that the Earth was a sphere. He used the sun and geometry (几何学) to figure out the size of the Earth. He calculated that the circumference (圆周) of the Earth was 28,600 miles ( 46,000 kilometers). Actually, The true size of the Earth is 25,000 miles ( 40,000 kilometers ).
23、Eratostheness measurement was wrong, but it was very close to the truth.For many centuries after Eratosthenes lived, people made maps of the Earth.

27、e of the Earth.D. Before the fifteenth century.DIn Armenia, when a babys first tooth arrives, often in four to seven months, a celebration takes place known as the “agra hadig” or “atam hatik”. As part of the celebration, objects related to different professions are placed in front of a child. Which
28、ever object a baby chooses first is thought to be a sign of where the childs professional talent lies.With the appearances of teeth, a child can begin to eat solid food. It is believed to be a proper time to predict what the future holds.“ Parents may arrange the future life of their children by off
29、ering only those objects that stand for respectable professions,” said Professor Antonyan from Yerevan State University. “ A book for writer; a pencil for an artist or a designer; a coin for a businessman.” Parents can also game the selection by putting objects nearer to or farther from their kids r
